From our Washington Corre'spondent WASHINGTON, United States and North Vietnam have agreed to resume the Paris peace talks on July 13. Revealing this in a news conference night, President Nixon said the United States was returning to the talks in a position of strength.

Bombing and mining North Vietnam had "completely turned around" the battlefield situation, he claimed. It would continue as "the only way to get our prisoners back." MAINTAIN FORCE Unusually tense and nervous at the start of the conference, Mr Nixon took a hard line. He showed he was ready to fight the November 7 election on his present policy of bombing and mining and maintaining a residual force in South Vietnam. He emphatically ruled out imposing a coalition government on South Vietnam. Although he would not reveal details of discussions in "various places," Mr Nixon thought there was a chance for "more serious and constructive discussions." But he warned that the United States had been disappointed in the past.

It had been his experience that communist leaders respected "strength," and the only way to strike a bargain with them was to have something they wanted. "That is the way I'm always going to approach it," he said, "and I think it's going to be successful in the end." If the North Vietnamese were prepared to negotiate seriously, the war could be ended well AND ON TUESDAY CSIRO a world leader Chichester tells ship: 'Go away' LONDON, Friday. A French weather ship, which reached lone trans-Atlantic yachtsman Sir Francis Chichester today, was told: "Go away." On commercial operations the Nomad has a range of about 700 miles, carrying 12 passengers and flying at speeds of about 200 mph. Because it is able to land and take off in a shorter distance than many two-seater light aircraft, it is believed to be ideal for commercial use in remote areas with short landing strips. As a military aircraft, the Nomad is expected to be used near front where landing strips are restricted and as observation aircraft.

It would also be able to land on aircraft-carriers. The Nomad which flew in yesterday is one of two prototypes which will cost an estimated $250,000 each. Production of the 20 aircraft will begin in September, 1973, and delivery should be complete a year later. The hope of the Australian aircraft industry, the Nomad, dropped in on Sydney for the first time yesterday. The Nomad, a short take-off and landing (STOL) aircraft designed for military and commercial use, was designed bv Mr Alan Wriglev and built at the Government Aircraft Factory, Melbourne.

The Commonwealth Government has ordered 20 aircraft, 11 for the Australian Army Aviation Corps and nine which will be offered for sale. It is hoped the Government order will stimulate the depressed Australian aircraft industry. The Nomad landed at Bankstown airport after demonstration flights for the Army at Amberley, Queensland, during the week. It was scheduled to return to Melbourne last night but the flight was postponed because of bad weather.
